How to grab field data from the intersection of two slices

Hi,

I have velocity field data in a NxMxP array, and I would like to find the values of the data at the intersection of two surfaces. For now, I am working with a plane and a cylinder, but in the future I would like to use other shapes and find the data on the intersecting arc.

Below is the picture of plane and the cylinder, and my code to make them.

AR = 5;    R = 2.5;
Ny = 200;

% generate plane
[x, y] = meshgrid(-(AR+1):(AR+1)/Ny:0, ...
        -0.7344:(0.7031- -0.7344)/Ny:0.7031); % Generate x and y data
z = zeros(size(x, 1)); % Generate z data
% I needed to rotate the plane by an angle about y-axis for my purposes
V1 = [reshape(x,1,(Ny+1)^2);
    reshape(y,1,(Ny+1)^2);
    reshape(z,1,(Ny+1)^2)];
dphi = 7.5;    % angle to rotate in degrees
MR = [cosd(dphi) 0 -sind(dphi);...
    0 1 0;...
    sind(dphi) 0 cosd(dphi)];
% slice going through the center of the wing
VR1 = MR*V1;
xR = reshape(VR1(1,:),Ny+1,Ny+1);
yR = reshape(VR1(2,:),Ny+1,Ny+1);
zR = reshape(VR1(3,:),Ny+1,Ny+1);

% generate cylinder
Nt = floor(2.1*Ny*R);   % specify the number of nodes along the tangential axis
[Xc,Zc,Yc] = cylinder(R*ones(1,Ny),Nt);
% matrix for correcting the height of cylindrical slice
ty = -0.7344;
sy = 0.7031 - -0.7344;
Mt = [1 0 0 0;
    0 1 0 ty;   % vertical translation
    0 0 1 0;
    0 0 0 1];
Ms = [1 0 0 0;
    0 sy 0 0;   % vertical stretching
    0 0 1 0;
    0 0 0 1];
H = Mt*Ms*[ones(1,Ny);Yc(:,1)';ones(1,Ny);ones(1,Ny)];
Yc = repmat(H(2,1:Ny)',1,Nt+1);

I can try and include some data if necessary

% draw figure
figure
hold on

h1 = slice(Xw,Yw,Zw,ur,xR,yR,zR,'linear');
plane_sli = h1.CData;
set(plane_sli,'edgecolor','none')

h2 = slice(Xw,Yw,Zw,ur,Xc,Yc,Zc,'linear');
cyl_sli = h2.CData;
set(cyl_sli,'edgecolor','none')

axis equal

I want to try and find the data on the red arc (line) in the image below. Is there a way I can do that?

is 2d allowed ? a cirlce or any shape with a line ?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

In this case, I want the data along the intersecting the arc, the red line. If possible I would like to make this work for the intersection of other shapes like a sphere intersecting a plane, giving a curved line.
